Appeal for witnesses and information after woman assaulted in Aldershot

We’re appealing for witnesses and information following an assault in Manor Park, Aldershot.

At around 2.50pm yesterday, Wednesday, 1 March, a woman was walking her dog in Manor Park, Church Hill, Aldershot when her dog went up to a man unknown to her.

The man kicked the dog and then punched the woman several times causing her to fall to the ground.   

The man continued to assault the woman before two members of the public intervened. The man then left.

The victim suffered injuries to her head and face.

The man is described as:
